疫情原因，为了满足社区的需要，Oakland的感恩节大餐赠品被重新设计！
OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- What better way to spend Thanksgiving than to give to those in need, especially this year when so many are having to go without, amid a pandemic.
感恩节最好的方式莫过于给予那些需要的人以帮助，尤其是在今年，在疫情大流行的情况下。
"We're thankful that our community is doing this for us," said Oakland's Maria Espinoza, as she and her partner were driving through a food distribution site set up in the Laurel District. "And you know with these hard times, with COVID, it's nice to get a hot meal."
“我们感谢我们的社区为我们做了这些，”奥克兰的玛丽亚埃斯皮诺萨(Maria Espinoza)说，当时她和她的伙伴正开车经过一个设在劳雷尔区(Laurel District)的食品分发点。“你知道，在这些艰难的日子里，疫情当下，能吃上一顿热饭感觉真好。”
City leaders and dozens of volunteers gathered on MacArthur Boulevard to distribute hundreds of meals during an event that was heavily modified to accommodate this year's considerable COVID-19 concerns.
市领导和数十名志愿者聚集在麦克阿瑟大道，分发数百份餐食。为适应今年严重的2019冠状病毒病，该活动进行了大幅修改。
The meals were ready made and pre-packaged, more than 1000 of them made by Oakland chef Jose Ortiz at his local restaurant, La Perla.
这些食物都是现成的和预先包装好的，其中有1000多份是由奥克兰大厨奥尔蒂斯在他当地的餐厅La Perla制作的。
"I think we did about 75 to 80 turkeys," said Ortiz. "It's good to see all these people. People don't realize that in this city that people go hungry. Regardless if its Thanksgiving Day or not Thanksgiving Day."
奥尔蒂斯说:“我想我们大概吃掉了75到80只火鸡。”“见到这么多人真高兴。人们没有意识到在这个城市里人们在挨饿。不管今天是不是感恩节。”
"This morning, I along with my staff went and handed out 500 hot meals to our curbside and un-housed communities and seniors," said Oakland City Councilmember Sheng Thao. "We wanted to make sure that people that didn't have vehicles or didn't live nearby here were able to get some hot food as well."
“今天早上，我和我的工作人员去了我们的路边和无家可归的社区和老年人分发了500份热餐，”奥克兰市议员胜涛说。“我们想确保那些没有车或不住在附近的人们也能吃到一些热腾腾的食物。”
Besides the food, recipients were offered personal protective equipment in the form of masks, gloves and sanitizer, to help them get safely through a holiday that few will soon forget.
除了食物，还向受助者提供了口罩、手套和消毒液等个人防护装备，以帮助他们安全地度过一个很少有人会很快忘记的假期。
"This is an unprecedented year. So many families have been without jobs. They've had great food insecurity," explained Oakland City Councilmember-elect Treva Reid, "and this is the way that we can be stronger together, that we can close this year with a measure of strength, and that's what this day has been to even more families who have been in need."
这是前所未有的一年。很多家庭都没有工作。奥克兰市议员当选人Treva Reid解释说，“这是我们一起变得更强大的方式，我们可以用一定的力量来结束今年的选举，这就是今天对更多需要帮助的家庭的意义。”
